Roberston Wine Valley

On Saturday we headed out to the Robertson Wine Valley Festival at Kievets Kroon.  This beautiful setting had me feeling like I was the closest to Cape Town I could possibly wish for at that particular moment.  We were greeted by the sound of live music as we arrived and gifted a 2009 bottle of Merlot as we received our wine glasses.  There was such a variety of beautiful wines to choose from but the bottle we chose to sip on was a Blush sparkling wine. Delish.  Kievets Kroon is such a beautiful place and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a weekend away from Jo’burg because it’s not far and the city becomes a distant memory the moment you park your car.

Petits Fours

I was lucky enough to be invited to the opening of Petits Fours, Kramerville by my friend, Morgan.  She sent me the invite and when I opened it, I saw the theme was Breakfast at Tiffany’s.  From that moment I knew that I would be clearing my schedule so that I could attend.  We had a gorgeous high tea with macarons, red velvet cupcakes, chocolate cake, quiches, eclairs and coffees.  What better way to start the day?  Definitely worth a visit for all those of you living near Sandton!

Sun[ny]day

Most amazing weekend!  Grant and I spent the day relaxing by the pool catching a tan.  It was so good to lie in the sun and have what was probably the last swim of the season.   More pictures after the jump.

Neighbour Goods Market

This Saturday I went to Neighbour Goods Market on Juta Street in Town.  It's so much fun!  There are so many unexpectedly great coffee shops around this area and once you are inside there is nothing but delicious food - pizza, pesto, sandwiches, chocolate, cheese, bread, wine, champagne - and such a friendly, fun vibe.  Its probably the most fun you could possibly have on a Saturday morning. 

 Warning: go hungry.

Making Tracks

Some family from England came over for a holiday and we all wanted to try something new, so we decided to take a train to Magaliesburg for the day.  It quite an experience to go to Park Station and hop on a train to leave town.  The route is scenic and little children wave at the train as it goes past.  The train stops for lunch at a hotel and then heads back to Park Station.  This is definitely a day trip worth doing!
